Chapter 557 Confidence
Curry gritted his braces and wanted to receive a serve from Draymond Green, but his body was stuck by Xu Tian and he couldn't receive the ball at all.

McGee is a player who is prone to make mistakes on the defensive end. He was replaced by Scott and moved from Warren to the fifth position to increase the rotation speed of the lineup to deal with the Warriors' smooth transfer of the ball.

Iguodala responds to the serve and passes it to Klay Thompson who runs to him on the screen.

George is responsible for chasing and defending, quickly grabbed the cover, and quickly reached out to interfere.

Klay Thompson ignored the defense, jumped up on the spot, raised his hand and threw a three-pointer directly.

Draymond Green rushed into the penalty area, holding two Lakers players alone, preparing to compete for offensive rebounds.

Xu Tian also rushed to the penalty area, avoiding Draymond Green's block, and prepared to compete for defensive rebounds.

The basketball bounced on the hoop several times, and the forces in all directions interacted with each other, making it finally go into the basket!
119-121, 1 minutes and 10 seconds!
Iguodala still wanted to limit Xu Tian, ​​but he couldn't keep up with the speed, so he received the serve.His first feeling was that he might be called an offense.

All the defensive players of the Warriors spread out, and most of them ran in the direction where Xu Tian dribbled and ran, ready to defend.

Xu Tian can see the situation in the penalty area and knows that there is only Warren under the basket. Even if he misses, he has a great chance to win offensive rebounds.Grab the fleeting space, adjust the arc, and shoot freehand!

The basketball attracted the attention of everyone in the Oracle Arena, and with a spin, it aroused the white net flowers!

122-121, 1 minutes and 01 seconds!
The Lakers retreated quickly to prevent the Warriors from playing fast breaks!
Curry took the ball to the front court, and immediately encountered Xu Tian's full-fledged defense. The feeling of suffocation hit him again.He could hear the cheers from all the fans, but all he could see was the color of Xu Tian's jersey.

Iguodala's mind was very clear at the critical moment, and he rushed to the top of the arc and made a cover to delay Xu Tian's defense.

Curry took advantage of this opportunity to dribble and break through, involving the slightly chaotic defense of the Lakers.

George has been pulled to the other side of the court by Klay Thompson, who is running without the ball. The remaining players are not very defensive. They have poor communication during the defense change, and they did not notice Harrison Barnes, who was running down without the ball.

Curry passed the ball with both hands and directly completed the cooperation.

Harrison Barnes hasn't had the ball in a while, adjusts his dribble, wipes the board with his left hand and makes a layup!

Nick Young rushed over, fouled, and stopped the offense by sending him to the free throw line.

The basketball bounced twice on the hoop and slipped out unexpectedly, causing the fans at the scene to sigh.Then it was quiet again, quietly watching Harrison Barnes execute the free throw.

Harrison Barnes dribbled the ball to adjust his breathing rhythm and shot according to habit!
The first penalty, clang!
The Warriors gave him a high-five, and then stood back to watch the second free throw.

Harrison Barnes felt the pressure far beyond the usual game, and the adjustment time was too long, resulting in a bit too much force when he shot.

The basketball hit the back edge of the rim and bounced into the air!
McGee, who had just been replaced, didn't get stuck in Draymond Green's position, turned around and took off, crushed by his height advantage and grabbed the rebound.

Xu Tian ran laterally, got rid of the Warriors' pursuit, received a pass from McGee, and ran forward with the ball.

Iguodala and Draymond Green double-teamed and defended Xu Tian together, not giving him an easy chance to get to the frontcourt.

Xu Tian passed the ball through the crotch to George near the center line.

Klay Thompson took turns in front of George and hit the ball in George's hands, allowing him to start moving freely.

George felt that the ball was out of his hands, reacted quickly, turned around and swooped, trying to grab the basketball back.

Draymond Green, Iguodala, and Xu Tian also quickly flew over and fell to the ground to fight for the basketball.

The basketball was not controlled and rolled out of the sideline.

The referee blew his whistle again, ready to review the video to determine the ownership of the ball.

Fans at Oracle Arena wanted to put some pressure on the referee and booed neatly.

Xu Tian stood near the center line and looked up at the scoreboard. It showed that there were 39.6 seconds left and the score was still 122-121.

Both Steve Kerr and Scott walked up to the technical table, watched the slow-motion replay, and determined in advance who should have the ball.

The slow-motion replay showed that Xu Tian and Iguodala both touched the basketball in the end, and repeated replays could not confirm who knocked the ball out of bounds.

The three referees and the staff of the replay center repeatedly discussed and finally decided to give the ball to the Warriors.

Seeing the referee's gesture, Draymond Green couldn't help applauding, celebrating the hard-won possession of the ball.

The Oracle Arena was booed one moment, and cheered the next.Although they just got the ball, it was still enough to celebrate.

Scott saw the penalty of the possession of the ball, called a timeout, and arranged the last defense.

Nick Young and McGee were replaced, and Tyson Chandler and Warren were replaced.

Clarkson can give a little contribution on the defensive end, without rotation, and then play the last few tens of seconds.

Steve Kerr drew up a play where Curry holds the ball, Draymond Green goes up the pick-and-roll, and the rest of the players pull to the other side of the court.If the Lakers flank Curry, they will let Draymond Green attack. If they do not choose to flank Curry, Curry will attack by himself.

Scott still lets Xu Tian defend Curry, Josh Smith defends against Draymond Green, and the rest of the players defend against their opponents without much adjustment.He emphasized more on physical confrontation, allowing players to fight for the last few tens of seconds.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob stood on the sidelines, looking nervously at the big screen above the stadium, a little looking forward to, but a little worried about the final critical moment.

Curry has no sense of urgency, and still maintains his previous self-confidence, thinking that they have the advantage of home court, and their hard power is above the Lakers, so they will definitely win this game.

Klay Thompson is also a player with a big heart, no matter what the game, he can maintain his mentality.Even if the team was still one point behind, he didn't panic at all.

Seeing that the referee was about to blow the whistle, Xu Tian returned to the court first, and stood in the backcourt to wait for the Warriors to serve the sideline ball.

The three referees returned to their positions and then blew the whistle to allow the game to continue.

Curry stood in the backcourt, took the serve from Draymond Green, stopped the ball near the right sideline, and waited for Draymond Green to come over and play the pick-and-roll.

Xu Tian was in charge of defending Curry, but was blocked by Draymond Green. Instead of flanking Curry, he switched defenses with Josh Smith.

Curry had a lot of experience playing Josh Smith before. At this time, he did not panic, dribbled the ball to adjust the rhythm, faked Josh Smith's center of gravity, and directly broke through with the ball.

Tyson Chandler reacted quickly and got in position to block Curry.
